J ^ Hr . O'CoOTroB , too , has adduced other j » mfa of Ihe demise of Chartism . In Manchester he eniolled 1 , 300 Chartists ; is Hudderafield 225 ; in Bradford 222 j in Newcastle and Beighbonrhood 1 , 100 ; and in Edinbnrga , in one sight , / 5 S 0 J That is ,
3 , 395 CHARTISTS enrolled in one fortnight , by one man , 5 n fire districts ^ the country-1 Verily Chamex is dead ! ] In addition id these proofs of Jefunctness , let its also state that the Char tists of Leeds bare just Becored possession of the largest meeting room in the town ; situate ia the front street and ranning Hie entire len / jQi of the Leeds Shambles ! They have now a meeting room two hundred feet long , Which will shortly be put into active requisition as & Chartist lecture room . " - There is another proof of ieai Chartiim . Let Mother Goose go look at it j aadiben look at the Black Boy little parlour !
But while Mother Goose , proclaims Chartism dead , doherposSnpsihink it defunct ! Ifo : they hare found it to be all-potent , invulnerable ^ and immoriaL Theydaily .- see and feel its talismanieeffects . Hence , in Goose ' s own borough we find that every got-Stiff who aspires to a seat in the Municipal Council has to come forth clad cap-a-pie in the impenetra-&ble armour of Char&m 1 And even soon are fcecome so zsalons , —( for the time being ! J—Oat they affirm their determination to " go farther than the Charter . " Aye ; they are all at once become downlijfct thorough-going Republicans . What a mighty sad a sadden change 1 Surely they will not return
to Mother ' s school again ! Since they hare adorned our walls with" green , surely ibey will not again bedaub fibem with " toixoit . " "We shall see . It is to be feared that the aspirants after Municipal honours are somewhat like the "Noodles ? about which Mother Goose makes so much ado . The One is in arms to-day and at the back of the counter io-morrow ^ the other re giment—Goosey ' s own "Uoodles , " though clad in the Chartist coat of aail till "Wednesday next , on Thursday ( when the polling is at an end } may be seen as * Yollow" as ever ; and as ready to waddle at the heels of Mother those !
The Leeds Annual Canvass Market has been well supplied with fustian and hypocrisy during the passed week f bnt few purchasers are found . The Burgresses have been so repeatedly taken in , as to make them more cantions . And they will , no doubt , keep an eje on the new converts to Chartism .

THE « LIBERATOR" AGAIN . THE POLITICAL "JIM CROW . " We gave in our last full particulars of the * BASE COMPROMISE" proffered by O'Conxell , in his offer io barter " Uxcosditiokai . Repkai " for " FEDERALISM . " We commented in severe , but justly merited , terms , upon this shameless abandonment of principle , on the part of the Irish B Mosss" ; and from all parts ,- —( Ireland as well as 3 Sngland ) -T > we have this week received pnblio aad private letters , warmly "approving of the independent eonrse pnrsuedby ns .
Well , the * compromise" took . With one solitary exception , that of the World , all the Irish Repeal papers gave their acquiescence , silent or expressed , to the " New Move . " ^ Fhe Freeman ' s Journal , the Pilot , file Drogheda Argus , the Belfast Vindicator , &c , Jcc ; all . flaming , " nncompromising" Repeal papers —all gave their silent assent . The Nation alone , of all the subsidised organs of the "Royal , Loyal Asso ciation , " said Anythingj and what it said was expressed in sobdned tones of compliance with the ukase of the ( Dictator . All 5 te llg words and Mastering threats were ° Song to the wild winds of
heaven "; and Toung Ireland at once sacrificed its •* high and haughty" resolves for Fatherland , at the shrine of self-interest ! as , when it burked the BoWe address of iba Sheffield-Chartists , it smothered its own sentiments , rather than risk the loss of its share t > f the " rint" plunder . And while the conductors of the "free" Press thus licked the dust , they announced ihat the "great" Brummagem leader of the "half fiozsn comprehensible omnibuses-full" of * Complete " Suffiragisia , bad visited the great Daniel and
arranged with him the ° abandonment" of - ~ Unconditional Repeal j" that the said Joseph had proceeded to Cravfcrdsburn , U > arrange with Mr . Shablux Ghawposd , to take his part in the new piece . The Monitor , a Federalist * was in ecstaeies with the * new move . " In short , "all went merry ^ as a marriage helP ? ; "when , lo and behold ! tbe IiiKEHATOB " gave another twist ! jludkjlsothkb tusk I ! and again showed his dexterity in shifting the pea at the very moment that expectant Whiggery was prepared to lift the thimble !
Whether , notwithstanding the sSence of his bribed press , be had heard the rambling of the thunder of popular discontent in the distance ; or whether he was galled by the taunts of the Tory press , to say TtAftirnp of the stinging sarcasms of our independent contemporary , the World , andwir own exposure of liis perfidy and treachery ; and feared that these would teU upon the popular mind to the great detriment of his popularity , we cannot tell : but be that as it may , the turn about was taken ; and only five day 3 from the announcement of his u BASE COMPROMISE , " we find him again an
» UNCONDITIONAL REPEALER" »! ' On Saturday lie issued an address to the Irish people , which will be found in another column ; in Trhich , after inssfing that " in all and * very event , peace , order , and absence of violence" should be persevered In by the people , ha seta on to say , ** That Repeal must not be abandoned . " " Persevere , ' says he , * ' firmly and peaceably j and-the Repeal is certain ?
If the Repeal " must no * bB abandoned , " why did he offer to abandon it only on the previons Monday \ If ft the Repeal 23 certain , " why did he offer to " compromise" only five days before ! Tis all very well for Mr . O'Coxssll io tell the people to " keep quiet ;" to pay tbeir" proclamation" shillings ; and to " persevere z ° but persevere in what 1 Thbt nxre tkkb ftTT . H 2 2 EQrrszi > op them ; it is for him now to produce his ** measures , " and gire the people EOmeihing to persevere with .
WHERE IS THE COUNCIL OF THREE HUNDRED ? Where is "' the machinery tobeworked to earn / Repeal ™? Forcible means he repudiates . The craven tone of the Nation , lisping " with bated breath and in a bondsman ' s key , " shews that the ralorons threats of Toung Ireland are all fudge 1 mars M win-penny" clap-trapsi ! We now tell CCoskell that his talk about " the Repeal bein £ certain , " and Mb appeals to the people to ** perse-Tere , " are rank hnmbug ! On Sunday , Mr . O'CoiotEii addressed two Ward meetings . At the Post Offiee Ward he appeared again rather in the character of a FEDERALIST . Tree , by way of clap-trap , be said " let no one abandon the Repeal" : but be took care to add that
** Whenever hejbund an advance towards his side of the question made by those who had never joined them he always yrssi hai ^ -wat to hket thkm , " Thi 3 , of eourse , was "loudly cheered" J Again , he expressed himself as being" willing to abandon much for a uttls justice f and then most consistently added : — * He waniedi > erseveranee for the restoration of the » r independent Irish Parliament ; and there let him not be misunderstood . By Independent , he did
sot mean a Parliament independent of the Crown , but of the other Parliamen t . ^ - Can any one make common sense of this , or regard it aa common honesty . Bat no doubt he spoke to suit his audience , composed , most likely , in a great jaeasnre , « f respectablfis . " In ihe St . Andrew ' s Ward , on the same day , he held another meeting ; and there no doubt ^^ vtnfr another sort of an aadienee , he went- the * whole hog" with a vengeance . B Give me" said he . .

predict also . At the end of six months , O ^ Cowkell will be found io be the same br | gging , lying moun . tebank he has ever been ! Repeal will not be obtained . Nor wiU bis head be upon the block He iB too soft to ever think of that npshot . So M snre as the rising of to-morrow ' s snn " , his prediction will prove to be a heartless mockery . And those who " tremendously cheered will have discovered io their sorrow , ( unless indeed they are in love with fraud and cling to deception ) that they have cheered a vain babbler , who had not the wisdom to guide , or else net the honesty to lead , a generous but too-confiding people to the goal of their aspirations .
We pass by his wretched display at the Conciliation Ball on Monday , other than remarking that he appears not to have been listened to so patiently as heretofore ; for he querulously complained of int errnption and disturbance . He has taken a horror , too , at revolutionary ballads , though the " bloodand-thnnder" songs of the Nation were once " very good songs" according to his evidence . With feelings of choking sorrow and in dignation , we ask , "What does O'Conneu , mean ! " We will answer for him . He means to betray the interests of the human race , as he has
repeatedly done before . We . said . last week that if be was convinced he could not carry Repeal mnder present legislative arrangements , let him hoist the banner of the Cautrsn , and we would be with him . But honestly ; vrere be to pretend to be again a Chartist , as he baa pretended to be before , tee could not—WE DARE NOT , trbst Hm J His present game is to sell Repeal ; and while making bis preparations to that end , to keep up his popularity by occasional clap-traps . Yes ; Repeal has made " a progress that has startled " even
himself ] And now " Frightened at the BonnS himself-baa' made , " he has resolved to back out of it : and so sure as the morrow ' s sun shall rise" ho will do so . YeB , the "bask coMPfioiosE" will be effected ; and Dan wiU save his bacon !
To The Working People.
TO THE WORKING PEOPLE .
Mt dkab Fmekds , —If this letter 5 s very short , you must excuse me . It is but six o ' clock , or little after , and I was not in bed till one . But I will go at the work at once , from where I left off . On Tuesday last , I went to South Shields at night , with Beeslty , and had a chapel , the largest place we could procure , crammed fulL I spoke at considerable length ; ibund that Williams , of Sunderland , and seme others had done us much injury in that locality ; but I think I revived their drooping spirits . I enrolled eighty-one ; and left at balf-past ten in an open gig , on a most dreadful night to go to Nevseastle , along the coast . I was a most hideous figure . I had a large kind of linen hood of Mr . Roberts ' s over my hat ; and the people took me for Becca . " We got wet and cold before we reached Newcastle .
On Wednesday , we were to have our grand meeting in the large lecture room , on the Repeal of the Union f aesuon ; and a grand" one it was ; the largest m-door meeting that they have seen for many a day . Irish , Scotch , and English Union Repealers , and Corn Law -Repealers ; Complete Suffragists , and Chartists , were mingled in one common mass . I spoke for more than two hoars upon the Irish question ; and then snbmitted a resolution , which was carried amid the most entfcnsiasuo applause .
Every corner of the building was full . Thousands were obliged to go away . Every window sill was occupied ; and I was frequently obliged to stop to allow fainting men and women to be carried out . I never , even in . 1831 , saw so good a spirit manifested . I did not forget my after duty ; for 1 remained to enroll , and enrolled seventy-six more Chartists ; many of them Irian R « pealers . I had to strip , it was bo oppressively hot : and , though without my coat for nearly two hours , I did not take cold . At the close of my day ' s labour , I thought 1 bad done my country some service . Jndge , 0 judge ! of my feelings ; my horror , disgust , and shame , when Thursday ' s post brought me the news , that Repeal has seek abandoned I
Aye , abandoned J given up I SOLD , as I shall fully prove in a series of letters " which I purpose to address to Mr . O'Connell , upon my return to England . I undertake to prove that FEDERALISM , instead t > f gtvik * "Ibblakd to thb : Ibish /* would give the English oligarchy greater power than they now possess . He is sow to be prosecuted ; and I shall stay my pen . I shall not venture upon a single remark ; but , as an Irishman , I feel deeply the heavy blow thai has been struck at my country ' s liberty : sad I rely upon the iriBh Pastors and their flocks for counteraction . I cannot trust myself upon the subject now . I wiil write about it when I return . I shjJl then find time ; and then the Irish people shall see their real position .
I go t > n with my narrative . On Thursday , I received the congratulation of all parties ; bat many poor Irishmen came to me with tears in their eyes , and asked me : u Wisha , your honour ; is it true that -we ' re sold , and that Repeal is given up for Sharman Crawford's Unioni " Oa Thursday night , I went in company with our excellent friend , Mr . Roberts , to Sanderland ; eleven miles . We went in a gig . The lamps went out . It was shockingly dark , and w « lost our way ; but arrived some ten minutes after eight . There is a
very large Hall ; and the people tell me that they could have filled four such . It was too full . A good working man was in the chair . I spoke at great length ; and Mr . Roberts followed me , with a tremendous blow at Master Williams and the Sturge Conference . His speech was most rapturously applauded ; and although Williams was on the platform , he never attempted to defend himself . He had most industriously circulated a report that I dared not go to Sanderland . However , I did go ; and enrolled 200 members .
On Friday , I started with the indefatigable Beesley , for Seghili , a mining district , to attend a Chartist meetrog , out of doors ; and , to my taste , it was a most triumphant one ; all Colliers , and all Chartists . I spoke from a niche in one of the gate piers of Lord Hasting ' s avenue , and had many of the middle-classes and one overseer on horseback among my andienee . A fine young Collier , Turnbull , wad in the chair ; and Christopher Haswell , the honest delegate for the district , was in front of me . I expounded the " whole hog" thing . Beesley said 1 spoke too long ; but I enrolled ninety members in the open air . The landlord of the hotel where 3 put up , took his card also .
We then left for South Shields again ; and on Friday night , I gave them another speech there , and enrolled seventy-five more ; making one hundred and fifty-six altogether in South Shield * . On my rernrn , I had the pleasure t > f meeting Mr . Duncombe , who I was sorry to find labouring under a very severe cold , caught at Manchester , wh < je he would speak in the open air . Saturday . —This was the day of days . The morning was awfully wet ; and yet I thought the proeession of brave Collier * , with their banners and numeroHB band 3 , would never end . It cleared up about balf-past eleven ; and Mr . Duncombe , Mr . Roberts , Mr . Beesley , and I started in a carriage and four for the place of meeting , five miles off . I was very fearful about a
gathering ; bni when we got within sight of Sheddan HiU , now famous in story , it did make me jump . Bat you shall hear , Mr . Duncombe ' s own words : —** Good graeioos , where did they all come from ! I never baw euch a meeting in all my life 1 " He was right . It would l > e impossible to go within 10 , 000 of their number . I estimated them at 60 , 000 ; others went higher ; but it was as still as if we had been housed . Mr . Beesley made one of the best speeches I ever heard ; as did Mr . Roberts . Mr . Doncombe was Teceived with roars of cheers and waving of hats ; and in an able exposition of his parliamentary conduct , he gave the following illustration of what he termed justice . He said : — " It is not iustiee to impose a fine of £ 5 upon a man
worth hundreds of thousands , and for a less crime to sentence a poor man to the treadmill . If we are to have equal justice , let the master who has violated the law work the tread-wheel with his man , and then the latter will believe that he has been justly dealt with . I would send the masters who violate the law for six months to -hard labour on the treadmill ; and then we should soon have no tnoretomplaints . " Now , that was just what the men wanted ; and they expressed their approbation by oheeijng and clapping of hands . A very fine fellow , Simpson , from Seghili , moved an amendment to one of three resolutions ; which , after & calm discussion ,-was lost , bnt few hands beiBg held np for it . I tak © it for granted that you will have a report of these meetings : for I merely sketoh them for you to show
the feeling and our position . ,-, „ . -. , On Saturday night we had a splendid Sotreexa the MusicHalL Many of the "Complete" chaps * nd "free-traders" were there : in fact , they have openly joined . Mr . Roberts excited their anger most dreadfully by his speech : and , in speaking of the Colliers' movement , he said : —** I wish my position to be understood by alL The Colliers do undestand it . In the organization of that body for thewagea question , I recognize a strong auxiliary Chartist foree . These wrists—showine : them—have had . the handcuffs upon them , five different times , for Chartism ; and my poor GoilieM < 5 o not ibmk so meanly of me as to suppose that I am going even to gi ? e up the name wider which I suffered fj—( oheers , and "No / ' ^ Bof " wedon ^ s wast you" ) . * Ho , " coitiaaed

Mr . R ., "itisiuy breath , my life , and my hope ; and with God ' s blessing , I will serve tny clientB without disgracing myselfor dishonour ing my party V ! Mr . Duncombe iMdeai ^ lendldBieech ; and concluded it with a full enunciation of the principles , aDd a declaration that hewaaft Chartist , NAME AND ALL , and would neither abandon : it himself or adyiB © the working men to ' abahdon it . It would be quite ont of my power to describe the scene that followed this plain announcement . The whole meeting rose , and cheered for several minutes . I spoke after ; and poor Captain Weatberall , the Chairman of the League , was obliged to make his escape . He could not stand my defence of the course the Chartists ha 4 pursued . The Manchester Packer also addressed the meeting '; and when the business was over I enrolled seventy-eight n 6 w members .
Mr . Duncombe ' s two Bpeeob . es on Saturday have raised as a hundred per cent . The people love him i he is so explicit , and divested of Parliamentary claptrap . He left ' for Edinburgh on Sunday ; but , as " there ib no rest for the wioked , " I was compelled to Btop , and preach ; and to travel the 120 miles to Edinburgh all in one day by eoacb . And I am glad I did . I learn that the place I preached in will hold two thousand . I was afraid that I had tired them with ten days' incessant talking : however , at six ©' clock the room was crammed . I spoke at groat length , and enrolled eighty new members . Now , about these meetings . Oar enemies say that we always exaggerate . But as I write for tho working men , who love the truth , I can appeal to them if ever they saw such meetings , for a whole week and more .
On Monday morning , at eight o ' clock , I left Newcastle for Edinburgh ; and 1 think I left it better than I found it , having enrolled nearly 1 , 100 members , and having revived a spirit which is not likely to be put down . Chartism is now more lively than ever in Northumberland and Durham . Edinbuesh . —I arrived here at eight , p . m ., and went off at once to Cecilia Hall ; a very very large theatre . I took my pack of cards , like a " pedlar " —but not a tbaffickiko one—with me . Boxes , Galieries , Pit , and Stage were filled : all classes , magistrates , lawyers , and all . Bat now for a dodge . The humbugs had invited Mr . Duncombe to a Soiree , and without the knowledge of the working men . That party , —the humbugs , —amounting
to nine in this city , contrived to muster about two hundred to meet Mr . Dancombe . The Chartists isueed & bill denying that they had any part in the proceedings . Mr . Duncombe went there , and told : them that they had a right if they professed the' principles , to take the name ; and they all looked very blue He must hare increased hia cold there ; but when he came to our house , at half-past ten , we soon warmed him . He delighted the " Modem Athenians ; " and they passed a rote of confidence in him , and in me . He again came out for " name akd all ; '' and said that had he gone to the Sturge Conference , as delegate from Edinburgh , he would not have consented to give up the name .
But Chartism is dead here ! Wait till you hear the proof ! I enrolled 550 MEMBEBS and was so delighted with every thing , that I have promised to be back here and at Leith on Saturday next , when I will make it up to 1000 . Chabtish is keitheb dead nob dyik « . It has been injured by a set of greedy devils ; but the people have shaken them off . I have no more to say , bat that I am just about to start for Dundee with Mr . Duncombe ; and that / do not find Chartism dead in Scotland ; but on the
contrary , more lively than ever . Think of 550 members , with all the sneaks that have been trying to choke us in one way or other . I hope to manage the 25 , 000 yet ; and then the growlers will have something to bark at . Your faithful friend servant , Fbabgus O'Comhob . Edinburgh , Tuesday morning . P .

To enable them to do bo , the wages of the workmen have been reduced —the articles manufactured have been in consequence deteriorated in quality as well as reduced in price ; these hate been introduced into an already over-atocked market , clogging np every avenue , deceiving the customer in substituting an inferior fora genuine article , bringing disgrace upon themselves , andrula upoa the town arid its manufactures . Perhaps it may be said competition becomes nnjust whea the wages of the workmen and tbe credit of tke dealer have to suffisrin order to support such a system . It is to stem the tide of such a torrent of dishonourable and disgraceful proceedings , that ( toe efforts of the committee are about to be directed .
As a trade , the Spring Knife Cutlers have become almost proverbial as degraded ? and why ? Is it because its members are leaa intelligent than the generality of working mea ? W < s answer , No ! Is It because they are less industrious ,-. less ingenious or persevering than In other trades f We think not . It is because they have been worse paid , their industry less rewarded , and their labour worse remunerated . Ought it to be so ? Reason and an enlightened philanthropy alike answer no . ' Sball these things continue ? We hope not , and it is our purpose to break those shackles which have so long bound ds » Fellow-Townsmen , will you help us to do so ? We hope yon will , and we think we shall not be . disappointed . . If we continue to fall , ethers must and will Inevitably follow ; if we rise , all will feel the benefit
It ia not to be expected that evils which have been years in accumulating can be removed in a day , or all at once ; but unless something be done , we feel assured that the reproach which has been heaped upon us by foreigners , on account of the inferior and trasby articles which have been sent abroad , and tbe efforts they are now making to perfect their own manufacture * , will eventually shut us out of the markets of tbe world . " Ba not weary in well-doing / ' is the advice now given : upon the encouragement and assistance you afford depends the future success of the cause ; and whatever others ittay do , jonmusl , to the extent of yanr ability , render all the aid in you * power .
Up , and be dolBg then t and , while labouring and helping , exercise patience and perseverance , and , ere long , returning prosperity trad happiness will once more visit our town and trade . Hoping Wat time will soon arrive , and anxiously expecting its coming , we remain , your obedient servants . The Mutual Aid Committee of the Spring Knife Trade . P . S .

TRIAL OF THE WHITEHAVEN "RIOTERS . " Cookermouth , Oct . 18 , 1843 . The trial of Daniel G . arraty and James Dor an , two of the party charged with having administered a sound and hearty thrashing to some seoedera from the Miners' Association , came oa today . The Court was densely crowded by perions anxious to witness the rather novel display of "justices justice ; " and the bench presented a larger display of the " great unpaid" than we hare ever before observed . Peile , Lord Lonadale ' s agent , was not present ; there were rumours that he was in bed , suffering from a flagellation administered on , the proper prominence indeed , but rigourously and rather unskilfully—the operator having made up by a strong and untiring arm for his deficiencies in "Cardigan" science . The rumour , however , was quite unfounded .
Mr , Roberts had been specially sent by the Miners Association , to defend their brethren ; and , with his counsel Mr . Greig , sat immediately in front of the Chairman . Mr . Ramshay was counsel for the prosecution . Our readers are familiar with the leading features ot the story . The Colliers of Whitehaven are a most grievously oppressed , race of men ; more so even than their brethrea in Durham , Stafford , or other coal districts . Their wages for the most part hardly exceed six shillings per week ; aud for this minerable pittance they are constantly exposed to the miseries of a foul atmosphere and the danger of sudden death . During the few last pears , more than < Ax hundred lives have been sacrificed , which might HAVE BEEN PRESERVED BY A SHALL EXPENDITURE by the coal owners . From this horrible state of existence they had no hope of emerging , until the establishment of the Miners' Association , and the
appearance of Mr . Brophy , the talented and energetic lecture * seal by that Association , to instruct them in the benefits to be derived from a cordial union . Mr , Brophy ' s argumentative appeals to their reason worked a change ia their minds . One after another , aad by tens and hundreds , the men joined the " Aasopiation " , aad looked forward with hope to a peaceful and successful struggle with Capital . The natural and necessary result of this could not , of course , be concealed from'the masters . They held sevoral meetings , at which Mr . Peile was very active ; and at last entered into a solemn league and covenant to employ no pitman who would not sign a pledge to belong neither to the Miners'Association * nor any other Association for the Protection of Labour , for the term of two years . This wanton exercise of tyranny provoked a feeling of independenco in thePitmen . All , or most of them , refused to sign the pledge , and wore immediately turned out of employ .
_ . . Two members of tbe Association , named Garrowway , father and son , were , soon after their joining it , bought over by Peile ; they signed the obnoxious pledge ; earaed the love of their master , and the intense hatred of their fellow-sufferers ; and were permitted to return to their employment . One result of this , —who can d » ubt it ! - ^ was , what some people call , " a good licking . " Others speak of the thing as " a sound thrashiag . " When we were boys , we should have chronicled the act in our eyerlasting memory , as " a thorough good biding , and no mistake . " Lustily , vigorously , and well was the castigationadministered ; theyUl remember it" a long time to come .
Garraty and Doran had been active members of the Association , and had done their utmost to keep the Pitmen firm to their principles . Tiie prejudice againBt them was therefore strong and bitter among the coal owners . Evidence was procured . A little goes a gbeat way ! The coal owners are the Magistrates . The men were committed for trial , and great was thejoy of the masters . , The trial was just vriiat might have been expected . Nearly all the magistrates on the bench were either owners otf coUieries ^ or connected with them by marriage , &o . The witnesses were the two
Gateways' who bad be ^ a ' » licked . ? ' Their falsehoods and prevarications wereimeat gross . One swore that on the evening when He " cotched it , " it was as light r ^ day : the other that it was so dark that he sho > Ui not have known the prisoners but for a lantern . that was held to their faces ! When before the or emitting magistrates , only one of the prosecutor j swore to having seen the prisoners at a particular fipOt : at the trial both prosecutors had seen them . All these were pointed out in the eloquent and povp ^ . yful speech of Mr . Greig , but he might as well h ; ^ spoken to the winds .
The chairman t 4 Bummoned ap . " , The jury laid their heads / , together : — " Guilty , r Ay Lord , " And then the magistrates rotired to consider ' the sentence . " OS how they chuckled ; !¦' , Feeble old shanks rattled and crackled with joy ? , $ they hobbled oatand then they hobbled in agai r j . " Eighteen months imprisonment and . hard labor / r" was the sentence on Garraty : and . twelve months imprisonment" for Dorao ,

Several times during the trial tbe name of Mr . Bropby was mentioned , and it was curious to observe the effect on the magistrates . They actually groiMied with passion . What a world of good tfeat man mnat have done , to elicit suoh a tribute ; sach a convincing proof of hia power , from such a tribunal I They literally writhed with agony , every time the name was uttered : Some , indeed , who might be supposed to entertain a hope of catching him , smacked their lips as if crushing the bone 3 and licking in the fft&Yj of a young snipe , when the witnesses spoke of the effect produced by his lectures : We would not give much for his chance of an acquittal , if tried at Cockermouth .
A rather curious scene occurred at the commencement of the trial . It was observed by tho whole Court . The Jury I had given several verdicts of " acquittal" in cases where evidently a verdict of " Guilty" had been anticipated ; aad when the " Colliers ? Case" was called on , the Counsel for the prosecution intimated that he should like another Jury , that in the box being "too merciful . ' * Then ensued a rapid " telegraphing" between the Bench and the prosecutor ' s attorney , or rather Peiles ' attorney . The result was , a confidence ia their minds that it was . " aP right . " Immediately on the verdict being given , Mr . Greig moved in arrest of judgment , on the ground that the Quarter Sessions had no jurisdiction in cases of conspiracy . Bat his argument was addressed to unwilling ears . It availed nothing .
A heavier sentence was anticipated by those who knew how deeply the magistrates were interested in patting a atop to the Miners' Association ; and heavier it would have been if the prisoners had not been most ably defended . But the presence of Mr . Roberts , as the recognised legal adviser ot the Union , had a beneficial effect . The result of this trial is yet to be j seen : we think it will add strength to the cause which it was intended to destroy . I

THE EXECUTIVE TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Fellow Covntbtmen , —We are again compelled to address you in a state of uncertainty relative to tbe Enrolment of out Rules . Oar legal adviser , Sergeant Bodkia , will not be able to give his opinion until tomorrow morning , which will be too late for this edition of the Northern Star ; though watrast to communicate it ia a later edition . But whatever the legal decision may be , we have still a most important duty to perform ; a duty to you Who have placed us in our present position . Is j Chartism to be abolished because its details may not be in accordance with a Government
official's interpretation of the Friendly Societies'Act ? Are the acknowledged principles of justice aud liberty to cease being promulgated , because of Tidd Pratt's decision ? and ia that cause which has flourished under persecution ; which has grappled with tbe storm , and blanched not ; which ' , despite of oppression and the oppressor's power , has grown from infancy to manhood , now to be blighted by ¦ a mere passing gale ? or shrouded in oblivion by the legal dictum of an hireling lawyer ? Forbid it patriotism ! j We cannot think so meanly of our fellow labourers , as to suppose they will abandon th « high vantage ground they have obtained , and sink into the tame , submissive vassalage to which the factions would willingly reduce them .
Men of England ! Arouse from your apathy ! Do you acknowledge the ] principles of Chartism ? If you do , we call upon to prove your sincerity by hoisting the banner of tbe National Charier Association in every town in the Kingdom , and marshalling your forces under the New Organization . The time for party contests has gone by . THE STKO 6 GLE is now between Labouh and Capital . Toe bad laws and wretched contrivances of modern legislation have placed these two essential requisites for prosperity in deadly opposition to each other . Hitherto Capital
has been triumphant ; and Labour baa been dragged in captivity at her chariot wheels . Our struggle shall be to emancipate Labour—to place it upon an equal political footing with Capital : Bnd never till this is achieved can amity exist between them , or tbe interests ef the one be made consistent with those of i 1 " ? rival . In this arduous undertaking , we claim your support . We demand your Co-operation . Backed by you , we-will fearlessly proeecate it to success : but unless we receive your active assistance ; unless yon , a ? working men , depend on yourselves , and do your own work , you will ever remain degraded slaves .
In order to assist in carrying tbe Organization into operation , we advise ( the Chartists to send to us for election lists of persons qualified to become members of the General Council of the National Cbatter Association . This list must be confined to seven persons , including sub-Secretary aad Treasurer . One person should also be nominated to fill the office of district Councilman . j The meetings in each town must be meetings of Chartists ; and not meetiogs of the National Charter Association . This must be strictly attended to , to avoid tbe fangs of the law . Cards will tj supplied to members after tbe first quarter free of expence . Any further information required will be supplied on application to the Secretary , 243 A , Temple Bar .
Brethren : from many important districts we have not yet received applications for cardo . To whM reckon are wet © attribute this sluggishness ? Is the spirit of Chartism so exuDguisbed , that it can be no more kindle ? Is it from apathy , or from the machinations of interested pirties ? Whatever may be the cause , we trust thej effect will speedily cease : that wherever Chartism bad previously raised its giant bead , there again will it rise with renewed vigour from its se eraing slumber , and march onward to victory . Let " union" be our watchword . Let the organization be our rallying point . Let unjust suspicions be banished ; honesty and trustfulness of purpose be our characteristics ; and we fear not the result . Thomas Clark . Henry Ross . Phili-p M'GRAth , President . Thoma » M . Wheeler , Secretary . London , October 25 . 1843 .
